Did you understand? is a piece that tries to dismantle the stereotypical idea of art fruition, involving the public as an object and as a subject of the performance. We go together through mimesis of the body, dance and spoken words, to suggest an auto analysis of the public of its own role in this exchange that we call fruition, leading to a freeing, collective party.
Performance is an outcome of a week-long artistic residency of the choreographer Tommaso Cavalcanti and the dramaturgist Giulia Cermelli in the frame of the international project Be International with AST / Nu Dance Fest as the co-production partner. Be International is designed to support cooperation of young Italian choreographers and dancers with international artists.
